Dear Yellow Jacket Fans:

Greetings Georgia Tech fans and welcome to the 2011 Yellow Jacket

football season. The start of another season on the Flats always brings

about great excitement and the hope of a successful campaign. I know

Coach Paul Johnson, his coaching staff and our student-athletes have

been working overtime to put together a great season.

Just as important, I hope our great Georgia Tech fans are ready to

step forward this fall to create the most exciting and fun atmosphere in

college football. There is nothing better than an enthusiastic crowd at

Bobby Dodd Stadium, with its history and tradition, and the beautiful Atlanta skyline overhead.

Our staff has been working hard in the offseason to make sure your visit to our campus is pleasant and

enjoyable. Last spring, we were able to do several rounds of extensive surveying of our fans and from those

results will be making some substantive changes and improvements to our game day operation. I am sure

that you will notice a difference as we ramp up our customer service to improve your game day experience.

This fan guide is specifically designed to make your understanding of our facility, its policies and fan

conveniences more top of mind. Please take a moment to review the materials and use this guide as a ref-

erence throughout the season. It is our hope that you enjoy every minute on campus and will visit often.

Thanks for your support and Go Jackets!

Sincerely,

Dan Radakovich

Director of Athletics

TECH TRADITIONSRAMBLIN’ WRECK FIGHT SONG

The Georgia Tech fight song grew out of anold folk ballad, “The Sons of the Gamboliers.”

Howard D. Cutter, a member of Tech’s firstgraduating class (Mechanical Engineering,1892), wrote in the November-December 1942issue of the Georgia Tech Alumnus that the“Ramblin’ Wreck” had its origins during the firsttwo years after Tech opened in 1888, inspiredwhen the entire student body traveled to Athensto see Tech’s baseball team defeat Georgia.

By the early 1900s, “Ramblin’ Wreck” was anestablished tradition. The earliest existing pub-lished version of the song appeared in theBlueprint, the Institute’s yearbook, in 1908.

In 1910, Michael A. Greenblatt, Tech’s firstbandmaster, discovered the band playing“Ramblin’ Wreck” to the tune of “Sons of theGamboliers,” and made his first arrangement of thesong in the form of a handwritten manuscript.

When Frank Roman succeeded Greenblatt asbandmaster in 1911, he wrote a new adaptationof “Ramblin’ Wreck” accompanied by manytrumpet flourishes, that became nationallyknown. His is the version that continues to bepopular today.

The fame of the song spread to such propor-tions that in 1959 it was sung by Richard Nixon

and Nikita Khrushchev at their historic face-to-face meeting in Moscow. In 1984, the law firm ofNewton, Hopkins & Ormsby investigated thecopyright of “Ramblin’ Wreck” and found that anumber of people have had various versions ofthe song copyrighted. The original version of thesong is in the public domain and can be playedwithout payment of royalties.

I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech anda hell of an engineer,A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of anengineer,Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink mywhiskey clear,I’m a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech anda hell of an engineer.

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I’d dress her inWhite and Gold,And put her on the campus, to cheer the braveand bold.But if I had a son, sir, I’ll tell you what he’d do.He would yell, “To Hell with Georgia,” likehis daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugarthree thousand pounds,A college bell to put it in and a clapper to stirit around.I’d drink to all good fellows who come fromfar and near.I'm a ramblin’, gamblin’, hell of an engineer.

WHITE & GOLDIn the fall of 1891, before Georgia Tech organ-

ized a football team of its own, a game was sched-uled between Auburn and Georgia. A rivalry wasalready established in baseball between Tech andGeorgia, so Tech students were invited to thegame to cheer, of course, for Auburn.

The students appointed a committee to rec-ommend colors to be worn and cheers to beused at the game. The committee suggestedwhite and gold, and about 200 students attend-ed the game wearing those colors.

In 1893, when Georgia Tech’s football teamplayed Georgia for the first time, a group of

HEAD COACH PAUL JOHNSON

24

2011 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Fan Guide

> In His Fourth Year at Georgia Tech

Paul Johnson, a two-time Atlantic Coast

Conference Coach of the Year and the mas-

termind behind Georgia Tech’s high-pro-

duction offense, begins his fourth season as head

coach of the Yellow Jackets.

Under Johnson, Georgia Tech was one of col-

lege football’s biggest surprise stories in 2008 and

won the ACC championship in 2009. The ACC

Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2009, Johnson’s

teams have appeared in a bowl game each of the

last three seasons.

In three seasons on the Flats, Johnson has com-

piled a record of 26-14, including a 16-8 mark in

ACC play. No coach in Tech history won more

games than Johnson in their first three seasons.

Over the last three seasons combined, only

Virginia Tech has won more ACC games than

Johnson’s Jackets.

In 14 seasons overall as a head coach, Johnson

owns a career record of 133-53. His career winning

percentage (.715) ranks in the top 10 among active

BCS head coaches.

Johnson enjoyed success as the head coach

at Georgia Southern (1997-2001) and Navy

(2002-2007) before being named Georgia Tech’s

12th head coach on Dec. 12, 2007.

In 2010, Georgia Tech earned a bowl bid for

the 14th consecutive season, tying for the fourth-

longest current streak in college football. The

Yellow Jackets, who lost four juniors to the 2010

NFL Draft and played

the final four games

without injured quar-

terback Joshua Nesbitt,

finished 4-4 in the

ACC and led the

nation in rushing

offense for the first

time in school history.

The 2009 season was one of the most memo-

rable in Yellow Jacket history despite fielding one

of the youngest rosters in college football (just six

scholarship seniors).

After a mid-September loss at nationally ranked

Miami when the Yellow Jackets played their third

game in a 12-day span, Tech reeled off eight consec-

utive victories including a 5-0 record in October

when it played four road games. A convincing 49-10

win at Duke on Nov. 14 clinched the ACC Coastal

Division crown, then Tech won the league title by

defeating Clemson for a second time, this time in the

ACC Championship Game in Tampa, Fla.

Tech, which reached a national ranking as high

as seventh, played in the FedEx Orange Bowl, its

first appearance in a major or BCS bowl game since

1962. Along the way, the Yellow Jackets rolled up

mind-boggling numbers on offense, ranking sec-

ond nationally in rushing offense (295.4 ypg) and

third in time of possession (33:49).

Prior to the start of the 2008 season, Sports

Illustrated projected Georgia Tech to finish 3-9 and

the ACC media picked the Yellow Jackets to finish

fourth in the Coastal Division. However, Johnson

directed Tech to a 9-4 record, a share of the Coastal

Division title and a Chick-fil-A Bowl berth.

Johnson’s first Yellow Jacket team beat three

nationally ranked opponents — Florida State,

Miami and Georgia — over the final four games of

the regular season. The win over Georgia snapped

a seven-year losing skid to Tech’s in-state rival.

At Georgia Tech: 26-14 (three seasons)

At Navy: 45-29 (six seasons)

At Georgia Southern: 62-10 (six seasons)

Other notes:

• Seven bowl games

• Five Southern Conference championships

• Two I-AA national championships

HEAD COACH PAUL JOHNSON

Johnson’s first season at Georgia Tech was

remarkable for a number of reasons. Not only did

he and his staff install completely new offensive and

defensive schemes, but Johnson inherited one of

the nation’s youngest rosters, which included 76

freshmen and sophomores. The last one-third of

the season, 16 of Tech’s 22 starters were freshmen

or sophomores. He also took over a program low in

scholarship numbers, well below the maximum of

85, the lingering effects of distant NCAA penalties.

Almost as soon as Johnson was hired, the pundits

questioned if Johnson’s option-based spread offense

would work on the BCS level. Those questions came

even though Navy racked up mind-numbing offen-

sive numbers, leading the NCAA in rushing three

straight years from 2005 to 2007, mostly against

ACC and other BCS-level competition.

Johnson came to Georgia Tech after previously

serving six seasons as head coach of the U.S. Naval

Academy, where he led the Midshipmen to a level

of success they had not seen in decades. Johnson’s

first head coaching job came at Georgia Southern,

where in five seasons he led the Eagles to two I-AA

national championships.

In six seasons at Navy, Johnson compiled a

record of 45-29.

Johnson took over a Navy football program

that was coming off the worst two-year span in its

123-year history (1-20) and had recorded just two

winning seasons in the last 20 years. After a 2-10

mark in Johnson’s first year, the Midshipmen

achieved what many thought was no longer possi-

ble at an Academy. Johnson brought the

Midshipmen back into the national spotlight with

a 43-19 (.694) record over his last four-plus years.

Before arriving at Annapolis, Johnson served as

head coach at Georgia Southern from 1997 to

2001. At Georgia Southern, Johnson posted a

62-10 (.861) record, won two straight I-AA

national championships (1999 and 2000), five

consecutive Southern Conference Championships

and was named the Division I-AA National Coach

of the Year four straight years (1997-2000).

In five seasons at Georgia Southern, Johnson’s

squads broke or tied 379 individual and team

school, conference, playoff or stadium records,

ranked in the top 10 in 21 statistical categories and

produced 31 All-Americans. The Eagles won an

NCAA I-AA-record 39 consecutive games at

home. Meanwhile, their 52 wins over those four

seasons were the most in all of Division I.

Prior to joining the Navy staff, Johnson spent

eight seasons as the offensive coordinator at the

University of Hawaii (1987-94). He helped guide

the Rainbows to their first Western Athletic

Conference title and their first bowl appearance,

coordinating an explosive offense that broke or

equaled more than 160 school records.

While at Hawaii, Johnson developed a successful

offensive unit which earned top-20 I-A statistical

rankings in scoring offense, total offense and rushing

offense during six of his eight seasons. He earned top

offensive coach honors in the WAC and was named

one of the top 10 assistant coaches in the country by

The Sporting News. After first arriving at Georgia

Southern in 1983 as defensive line coach, Johnson

was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1985.

Johnson’s coaching career began when he was

offensive coordinator and line coach at his alma

mater, Avery County (N.C.) High School, in

1979-80. He accepted the offensive coordinator’s

position at Lees-McRae Junior College in 1981,

leading his offensive unit to a sixth-place national

standing among NJCAA total offense leaders.

Johnson, a native of Newland, N.C., earned his

bachelor’s degree in physical education from

Western Carolina in 1979 and a master’s degree in

health and physical education from Appalachian

State in 1982. He and wife, Susan, are the parents

of a daughter, Kaitlyn.
